There is one more good thing about this kind of feature.
It is a step towards our own handling of testresults, which we will
probably need, to be able to implement things like colloring failed
testcases.

I would worry a little about losing the Red/Green vissual effect.
But that could be solved and keeping the state of my workbench would be
nice. And we probably would be able to use <ctrl>-. <ctrl>-, to navigate
testfailures just like compile problems.

Is that an extensionpoint? Adding items to the "problems" cathegory in
the "Tasks" list.
